,:~:.,, THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TU MORNING PAPERS, MAY 18, 1826. [THE TIMES.] Ve-pereeive that the fall of Missolonghi has ex am& some uneasiness among the friends of Greece, for the ultimate . condition of that long-suffering and interesting country. In making known the above un fortunate event en Monday last, we thought it right to add, that the final issue of the war was not likely, iu our judgment, to depend on any relative superiority, attainable through military successes, by the Turkish Government over the Greek .nation . ; and such is our conviction still, The readers of the Times may rely upon the information conveyed to them, and repeated, in former numbers of this journal, on the authority of our foreign correspondents, as to the nature and po litical results of his Grace the Duke of Wellington's embassy to, the Court of St. Petersburgh. On that subject, we distinctly stated, that the Duke only failed where failure was inevitable, in the efforts 'which he was officially compelled to make, for pre venting, if such a thing Were possible, a contest be tween the Rusian empire and the Porte, on points not immediately connected with the war now raging between the Greeks and the latter Power.— The Dulie of Wellington, it is said, although that is now a useless question, left England at too late a pe riod to have any chance of succeeding in that branch of his negotiation which related to the direct quarrel between the Porte and Russia. - The mind of Ni cholas, of the Russian people, and of the Turks, were all too ripe for an appeal to force to be checked 'by the, interference of diplomacy. A knowledge of its own p.o,iyef in one party, and an utter ignorance or dis regard Of its real importance in the other, with the ten dentOftime itself to confirm each of them in its re spective dispositions, had outstripped the British Am bassador, and defeated him before he took the field.— Nicholas, as we have already said, protested against the intemie4dling of any foreign States in a quarrel speci fically and essentially Russian, which touched the rights of his'c ro wn, and the interests as well as the spirit of his people; the duty imposed upon him with regard to which had been but a little while before declared and pointed out to him by the deliberate policy of his brother.— Respecting Greece, however, the . Duke succeeded in a manner the most absolute and complete. The inde pendence of Greece was secured by his representations to the Russian Cabinet. Her release from Turkey was not left contingent on the precarious issue of her owls military resources and exertions. Her fortresses Might be captgred, and her brave men slaughtered, and legions 46F. Arabs might overrun the fields of the Mores : but the resolution was announced by England, and. Russia concurred in it unequivocally, that Greece should no longer exist as a slave to the Turks. Let, therefore, the friends of general liberty dismiss their fears for the result of this sanguinary conflict; Greece will ere long be free ; and instead of the fliture being rendered more doubtful by the fall of the fortress recently cap tured,—an event calamitous only for the innocent blood which it has cost,—we are inclined to think that the moment of liberation to the Greeks will be hastened by it rather than retarded. Turkey will become more insolent and unsparing England therefore must, for the sake of honour and humanity, be more prompt in the development of her policy, and more vigorous and peremptory in its enforcement. If, indeed, we have allowed that the point of the late negotiation which miscarried was one which no address nor talent could then have secured-430 we are bound to express our regret that the object which has been attained with Russia by negotiation has not been more energetically followed up and realized in favour of ,Greece by our diplomatic agents at Constantinople. Thongh the end will be the same, a frightful mass of intermediate suffering has already flowed from the vain attempt to apply the instrument of reasoning, where cannon balls only were likely to obtain a hearing. [MORNING lIRRALD,3 no Magistrates in the vicinity of London; from a nice regard to public morals and the preservation, of oder, have of late made remarkable inroads on the periodical recreations of the working and more simple dasses of the community. They have already abo lished several of the fairs, and they are engaged in dis . rto end Litigation against , the continuance of others. their conduct has given rise to some controversy and fnueli difference of opinion. But whether right or Cirong—whetlier their zeal be reasonable and com mendable, or affected and overstrained—whether their views be legal and liberal, or whether they are, like ,r Load Angelo," in authority " precise"—in any ease they ought to be bound by their own prin- Oipleli---they ought 'to be impartial. Why then is it ,that we bear of no interference of Magistrates, no resolution passed at Sessions for the aboli tion of that unseemly and disorderly exhibition— the Eton montern, which has just taken place ? None but those who have early prejudices from early association, or they who can bring themselves -to think that the .glitter and embroidery of rank arid dresses can cover brigandage and baseness, With their multitudinous deformities—can, after a moment's candid reflection, suppose the Eton mon b.lent less obnoxious, in point of decency, order, and morality, .than Smithfield or'Greenwich fairs., As lib the thing itself, in the abstract, it is a relic of the Aosthitrisin, or, if you please, the simplicity of an early and, should long since have ceased to exist, ex '':tifting Only in reCOrd, is a trait of early manners; like '`t ti of Prince Henry and his associates ,against - tlic King's subjects, on the King's highway, the antiquarian critics on Shakspeare 'have .discovared,sonie authorityof fact. It is true the mon. tern contribution is Levied in open day, and is more like 'a'illeatrical fiction than a reality. B u t no argument . qrF.inppOsition' can extricatnit from the dile mma o f being a forced or a - mendieant contribution ; unless it be considered a sort of composite of hoth, like the man. in Gil who, having.placea his cap on th e hi g h- . way, iinpin:etl- charity in the name of the Holy Virgin, cd behind the h edg°' hip un levelled at shoot pedistance, with a precision rirresietibly,Perimainve. any siipPosition—of its being co m p u l sory eleernallywity, or sothething eornp O nnded of -both, i s nruicetnly—.lndeod -disgraceful.: If the ohject . be to 4 th/1111ga and reward youthful talent, by a: sum o f rr ,C 9 assist the' scholar in following his atudici; 41, the .UttiVersith let tile fun(l4be raised iri some other "ind4mojactionable way. ro moat 'CaSeS, too, expentes'of school, aduzation at Eton,, and the condition of those who send, their children thitler; the amount collected can hardly . l3e a matter essential to them in the future prosecution of their studies.

But bn the score of the great abuse—the temptations and opportunities for depredation—which has been princi pally urged against the periodical assemblages of the common people, the viontent is more obnoxious than any. The crowds are as great—the temptations greater —and if the depredations are less flagrant, it is not beciuse there is a less concourse of depredators, but because better, arrangements are made to watch and check them. The amusements of the people have the right of ancient prescription as well as the monton, with no difference but that the latter is aristocratical— which, though it may confer privilege in fact, does not so in justice, or reason, or common fairness. [NEW TIMES.] Mr. Hume, in his late Resolutions on the State of the — Nation, deduced some inferences, which we con-. ceive to he erroneous, from the Poor Rafe returns an nually laid before Parliament. He contended that the pressure of the Poor Rates should be estimated, not by their money amount, but by their corn value, and arguing upon this basis, he found that the amount ,raised in the year ending on the 25th of March, 1824, was much heavier than that raised in the year ending .on the 25th of March, 1813 The same line of ar gument was adopted in the Times of yesterday ; and yet a moment's reflection will show, that nothing can be more fallacious. The price of wheat is affected by so many cOntingencies, that it is, of all merchandia able articles, the 'very last which should be taken as a standard of value. We haVe before us a scale of the . prices of corn, meat, coals, mechanics' wages, and various other articles, from year to year, throughout the whole of the late war, and' a moment's in spection shows, that the fluctuations' in •the price of wheat were' ten times as great and rapid as those of any other article. The year 1812, which is fixed on for the comparison, happened to be the dearest year for corn ever known in England, the average being 1225. Bd. per quarter ; but in only three ears afterwards, it fell - to 635. Bd. No such fall, however, was observable in the Poor Rates, nor could it be so ; for the money applied to the mainte nance of the poor is not wholly, nor even chiefly, expended • in the purchase of wheaten bread.— Very opposite conclusions might be drawn from a comparison of the Wheat Prices with the Poor Rate Returns, in different years. Take, for instance, .the average of the Poor Rates for the three years ending in March, 1821, which amounted to 7,273,0001., while the average price of wheat was about 68s. Bd.; the Poor Rates then would be equal to about 2,118,000 quarters of wheat ; whereas, four years afterwards,when the population had probably increased seven per cent., and the money price might have been expected to be equal to 2,266,000 quarters ; it was only equal to 1,832,000 quarters, being 5,786,0001., with a wheat average of about 635. 2d. —There is a manifest absurdity in assuming that pauperism is most prevalent when food is cheapest ; and yet this is the real basis of the argument used by the Times and Mr. Hume. In the years 1822, 1823, and 1824, the money amount of the Poor Rates varied very little ; whereas the wheat prices varied from 435. 3d. in 1822; to 625. in 1824, and, consequently, upon the hypothesis which we are com bating, the pressure of the Poor Rates must have been half as light again in the latter year as it had been in the former, which certainly was not the case. We arc far from denying that pauperism is a tre mendous evil; and we think that the system of paying the wages of labour out of the Poor Rates, which has mainly contributed to augment this evil, should be re strained, or, if possible, prohibited altogether. At the same time it is to be observed, that this system adds much more in appearance than in reality to the burthen of those Rates., Of the five millions and three quar ters levied and expended in the shatie of Rates, per haps four millions would be paid in the shape of wages, if the law, or rather the perversion of the law, did not authorise a commutation, of no real utility to the. employer, and of serious injury to the moral cha racter of the labourer. [THE REPRESENTATIVE.' A pamphlet just published, upon the increasing Importance of the British West Indian , possessions, complains, that in the discussions which have been held, both in and out of Parliament, upon our West India affairs, the interests of the Planters, and of their slaves, have almost exclusively absorbed the attention of the disputants ; while those of the Bri tish Empire which are equally involved in the con sequences of the issue of the contest, appear either to have escaped notice altogether, 'or have been so feebly advocated, as to cause surprise to the thinking part of the nation, who are fully aware of the import ance of our possessions in that quarter of the globe. It requires only a cursory view of the debates in Par liament on the subject to be convinced of the justice of this remark. It certainly has been treated in a great measure as a question between slave and pro prietor, without consideration of what is due to the public good, which all parties must admit should be preferred to the interests of either. We find Mem bers in the French Senate speaking with contempt of Colonies; and this conduct may become them, because they feel their own deficiency in that source of. strength,; but it should be otherwise in' England, the prosperity of which is allowed to be interwoven with the, preservation of our Colonies. That the system of slavery is intrinsically vicious, ' and its abolition desirable—that the rights of ie Planter in respect of his slave, guaranteed as they are by custom and the laws, cannot be set aside without injustice—are points that cannot be fairly disputed; but, whatever • importance may be attached to them, they are subordinate interests, which must yield to the good of the State. We must therefore applaud the determination of Government, as ex pi essed by the Right Ilcmourable Secretary for Fo reign Affairs, to enforce the late Orders in Council respecting the treatment of slaves in the West Indies, without minding whether it be agreeable to them or their masters. At the same time we must confess, that, with 'the sincerest dislike to the existence of shvery, we cannot approve the conduct of those who demand its immediate and unconditional abolition ; first, because the Planter should not be stripped of his rights without compensation ; and, 'secondly, because to give perfect freedom to the slave, before he is qua lined to exercise it, would, instead of improving, only tleteriwate his condition. t - It ptain ':`j ft TOW) CI aCt7M'S TANC E.—The brig Medusa, Arpelt d :terse ' , while on the passage from I A Guayra to 'Liverpoo lost a portion of her spars 4 tind fat& in it thuuder-atorm, in 114.33. 38. long. 58. 12., during which the electric fluid destroyed the magnetic power of t h e compasses on b o ard ; two of which were o n deck, and two in the cabin.

GUILDHALL—Mary Hosier was brought before Alderman MAGNAY yesterday, charged with having mysteriously deprived one Mr. John Watson of a gold sovereign, without his consent. Mary Hosier is a maiden of all-work, recently arrived in town from Gloucestershire, with a prospect of speedily becoming a damsel of no-work—for she has met with many good friends in' town who have carefully instructed her how to imbibe full-prod gin at any hour, and she has already made considerable proficiency' therein.—Her accuser, Mr. John Watson, is a large, comely, well-impinguated, soft-spoken young personage, handsomely done up in bottle-green broad cloth ; and according to his account, she deprived bins of his sovereign in this manner : Between ten and eleven o'clock he was at the Black Bull, in Smithfield ; and Mary was there likewise—he was eating oysters by himself, and Mary was drinking gin with her frieuds. Whilst he was eating his oysters, Mary watched bins attentively, as though she begrudged him every oyster he swallowed; and at last she said to him.—" I say, Mister, don't you mean to give me an oyster?" " Certainly," replied Mr. Watson ; and thereupon he very gallantly handed her • one of the finest; at the same time taking a sovereign from his pocket to pay for what he had had. But Mary no sooner saw the sovereign glittering between his fingers than she snatched it from him, clapp'd it into her mouth with the oyster, and gave a gulp—" It isn't gone ?" said the` astonished Mr. Watson ;—" Indeed, but it is though !" rejoined Mary ; and thereupon Mr. Watson laid hands upon her and gave her in charge to a constable ; for he really did not believe she had swallowed it, and he was in hopes the constable would find it concealed somewhere or other. The constable, one Mr. Bradley, a worthy blacksmith of St. Sepulchre's parish, said he " earthed her immadently, as far as it was possible for man to march her, and found nothing in the shape of a sovereign."—" Howsomever, she told me," added the con stable, " that the gentleman shoved it into her mouth, and it might have slipped down unawares, along with the oyster. —A circumstance not at all unlilcely—as far as the slipping down goes; for your fine fat oyster is a marvellous lubricator of the throat. Mary. in her defence, declared positively that Mr. Watson ac tually did shove the sovereign into her mouth—that is, if it was a sovereign, which she did not believe.—" When I a.t'd him to give me a hoyster," said she; ". he did give me one certainly, but he offered me money as well.—' I'll give you half s sovereign, pretty maiden,' said he to me, ' if you'll let me see you home..— No, sir,' said Ito him again, I wants none of your money, I've got money of ray own, and what I've got, I works hard and honestly for. And with that he takes me round the neck, and shoved the money into my mouth—he did—shame on him!" Mary concluded by sayi ng, that she verily believed it was only a half.' sovereign after all—because " it slipped down so desperate easy." Mr. Watson, in reply, solemnly declared, that it was a whole sovereign, and that the story of his having forced it upon her was utterly untrue. She snatched it from him, and popp'd it into her month the very instant he took it out of his pocket ; and he could bring a dozen - witnesses to prove it. 6 . Then let the case stand over until to-morrow," said the Al derman; and Mary was re-conducted to prison. Thomas Cooper, an old man, porter to a respectable tradesman in the city, appeared upon summons to answer the complaint of Thomas Jones, one of the gaolers at Bow-street, who charged him with having attacked and obstructed the police caravan. Jones stated, that as the police caravan was on its way through (3iltspur-street, on Monday afternoon, with Some prisoners to be delivered at Newgate, this old man was wheeling a truck in such a way that the caravan could not pass without endangering his life. lie and the other gaoler called out to him to draw on one side—there being plenty of room for him so to do ; but instead of so doing, he purposely drove the truck against the caravan, there by placing himself in great jeopardy ; and when the driver of the caravan cut at him with his whip, in order to make him get out of the way, he left his truck, and seized one of the horsey with such violence that lie brought it almost upon its knees. This violence brought a crowd about them, and they had reason to'fear that en attempt might be made to rescue the prisoners ; and, as they could not persuade the old man to relinquish his hold upon the horse,-they removed him by force, and had him locked up in the Compter, from whence be was afterwards suffered to depart upon his master's undertaking that he should appear before the Alderman on the following day. He did not apppear ; and there fore he was instructed by the authorities at Bow-street to apply for the summons on which he was now brought forward. He added, that the old man was very drunk. The Alderman asked the old man what he had to say in reply to this charge? " Why, please your Worship, I say that the greater part of it is false." " It is impossible he could have been drunk," said his master; " for he had not left my house more than five minutes, and he was then perfectly sober. Indeed I never saw him drunk in my life; and it is shameful to ill-treat a poor man, and then endeavour to injure his character." Brand, one of the Marshalmen, now stepped forward and said he happened to witness the whole transaction ; and certainly the old man was very badly treated. He was not in the way of the caravan at all, and yet the driver cut at him, wantonly, in paasing; and when he went towards them to ask, as it appeared, why they had flogged him, the driver cut at him again repeatedly. The Alderman immediately dismissed the Complaint. . BOW-STREET.—.rdward Archer, who has been in custody since Tuesday sennight on the charge of stealing a parcel, con. taining 5351. in bank-notes from the Birmingham post coach, underwent a public examination. A. F. Stonebridge deposed that he was clerk to Messrs. Bolton and Watt of Birmingham, at their house in London -street, Fen church-street. On the 11th of April he made up a parcel, con taining 5851. in bank -notes, 500 of which were for. IL and seven for 61. The 1/. notes were running numbers from 80,000 to 80,500 ; and directed to Mr. Robinson, Soho, Birmingham. Ile took the parcel to the Spread Eagle in Gracechurch-street, gave it to one of the clerks, and paid 21. Se. 7d. for insurance, car riage, &c. .1.. - BrOokland, clerk at the above Inn, acknowledged the receipt of the said parcel, which he gave to R. Edwards, the guard, telling him the, contents, who said he would take care of it till ha got to Birmingham. E. Haminell, servant at the Rose and Crown, Little Britain where the guard of the Birmingham coach lodged, knew the pri soner, who generally made a shabby appearance. On the 11th of April he i:arried the guard's great coat to the Bull and Mouth Inn, when he was surprised to see the prisoner inside the coach, which he remarked to the guard. Witness mounted the coach, and rode as far as the Peacock; at Islington, when the prisoner was still inside. Mr. Butler (Mr. Harmer's clerk) said, the guard, who had himself been charged at Guildhall on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery, was summoned to attend this examination, but was not present.—(He was then called' on his summons, but-did not appear.) • J. Middleton, clerk in the Bank, proved that on the 12th of , . April (the day after the robbery) the prisoner brought 200 one pound notes, which be wished to change into cash ; he gave him a 2001. note, and took biro to Mr. Highunore, pay clerk, who gave him sovereigns for them. These 200 notes were part of 800 which bad been issued the day before, and were the same numbers as those stolen from the coach. The other SOU were paid in the same morning by another man. I ' Mr. Highmore confirmed this testimony, as far as he was con cerned. • Mr. Butler said he was instructed to state, that there were other witnesses who could prove that the prisoner went by the had beenpileacker.med4ttchtaitng He coach to Stony Stratford, and that he there left it and returned immediately to London by another coach.

When he went there, die servant woman said there was no thotinan wanted. After that he returned to .Mrs. Grinovood, who said, " You fool,—it is all a parcel of stuff—theywart a foottnan--it's ell. right.' She then gave him directione to call at 13, Montagu -street, Montagu-square ; when he went there, he saw the servant - woman, imd received a ssiiTiloardocankswiner.the A ev ftz in t g l:a o t bse he rv u ed •at G ch ri eLtb ood e ho w use a l in a g nd up ablu a t down the Bar Wstet-roid, with a lame gentleman, whom be after- 6 .2 - . wards pointed out to Mr. Rawlinson in the Park. He *eel again to Mrs. Grimwood, and told her that he would WO to objection to take a butler's situation, which she promieedltspus. cure for him by his paying ten shillings more. He hesitated, and said he would call the next day. Grimwood and his wife, who were also in attendance, held theh hands in au uplifted position at this part of the witness's state ment. Mr. Rawmxsol: asked them if they meant to insinuate thsl the statement was false. Thiselton continued—He said that Mr. Rawlinson advised him to give the ten shillings; and when he went the next day to pay the money, Mrs Grimwood was not willing to accept of it. The husband was up-stairs, and he went to speak to him ; but he de sired him to speak to his wife. There was a servant in lively in the room with Grimwood, as if in the act of buying linen. Ia an hour after he went up-stairs again, where he saw a tall man in livery, as footman, with Grimwood. In a short time he 00 another person in livery go up-stairs. He had ascertained thil no persons were allowed to go up-stairs but footmen in livery- When he first went to Grimwood's house, the wife perceived him lurking about the door, and called him in, and promised to pre cure him a situation. Grimwood denied ever having seen the witness at his house. Mr. RawuNsow said it could not be denied but that the,young man was defrauded of the half-crown, under the pretence ofgetting him a situation, and when he called at the places where he wit desired there was no situation at all. It was a clear case of fraud; and if Grimwood could show upon what grounds the young man was sent to these places, he would have 'that opportunity of el' plaining. Grimwood said that he could only account for it by being de' ceived by those who gave fictitious addresses, and those who tell him of situations where there are none vacant. Mr. RAWLINSON said there was no question but that certain persons were in the habit of resorting to his house, and the con. versation of the wife with persons next door, loud enough to be distinctly heard, complaining of the shameful conduct which WP going on, much to her credit, could he proved. lie (Mr. R ' called at his house, to make some inquiries, and Grimwood In recollect him. Grimwood said that he was walking with a footman some time since, when Mr. Rawlinson met him, in Regent-street. "'Mr. Itswmssom said it was in . St. James's-street , and I'Ct regent-street. •ji t Grimwood said the footman told him that be (Mr. R.) Wo Dy h e i r r ,.th ßA e Magistrate. You were mistaken, then; my none 14 Rawlinson. Perhaps you could tell who that person was none peeping at me all the time that I 'typal talking to you. I should also like to know the names of those men who were seen }al the house in women's clothes. You cannot deny that your wi • has upbraided you. Greenwood said, that a footman left the house on Moodny night' in a woman's dress, to go to the masquerade, and the wutclnali saw him. Several questions were here put to the prisoner respecting tle manner in which he got possession of the house, and from his re plies it appeared that the house was taken by a Mrs. Bidley, th fu ‘' twelve mouths, furnished ; and that she had occasion to leav e house, but had since returned.
